Big User game this week as the big ten title is on the line as well as a national championship spot for the winner...Ohio State and Iowa face off with all the marbles on the line in this one.. This is the Game of the year in my opinion 2 teams playing for everything... Iowa has dominated this match up since coach Phillips came over to the big ten but this year coach phillips feel he has a team of destiny.. other coaches in the league have also felt the same eerie chill when talking about the buckeyes this year"Not sure why, But I just have a feeling this is the year the Buckeyes win the National Championship" Coach Gruden said this week in his pre game press conference as he looked around the league for what could be his potential contenders to stop his repeat.. enough about the mythology lets talk numbers here.. Iowa comes into the game with the number 3 rank offense in the country they are avg 53 points a game an sport a very balanced attack.. I think the biggest question for the hawkeyes is with thier star qb hurt.. can (rs)soph Joel Gordon get the job done..he has been great so far fillin in but this is the big game does he have what it takes to get his team the win..he will have plenty of help as TE Josh Mitchell leads all recivers on the team with 51 rec for 868 yards and 5 yd...he is mr.big time and if u leave a lb on him he will be dancing in ur endzone.. Ohio State comes into this game with the number one rush offense in the land...which is led by sr CLint Brock who has 655 yards n 9 td on the year.. the other big factor in the running game is tru freshman qb Dylan Day who has 486 yds n 5 tds n looks alot like a former Ohio State great Terell Pryor.. even tho statistically the pass isnt a big factor for the buckeyes when they do throw it thier qb is perhaps the most efficent Jake Roberson is 73-116 for 1658 20tds and only 2 ints.... which will be major because this game is historically dictated by turnovers and mr roberson doesnt plan to give them anything for free.. The keys to the game will be ball protection and stuffing the run.. Ohio State has the number 10 rush defense in the land so i believe they will stuff the run and get iowa throwing the ball and that will force some turnovers which will give them the advantage in a nail bitter.. Ohio State over the Hawkeyes
There is also more tasty matchups this week as the Acc conference play gets underway...As the defending national champs FSU take on a fiesty Maryland team.. FSU has the number 6 offense in the land number 7 in the pass SR Tommy Raines can get the ball down the field wiwth 2301 yards passing thats clear but as a senior you would expect to see better decsion making by him as he has already thrown 10 ints this season.. not something u expect from a defending national champ qb.. But when u have weapons like Andre Dawson the second u wanna throw it up n let him make a play.. and 9 out of 10 times he will do just that on the year he has 36 receptions for 848 yards and 6 tds but dont sleep on fr Kasen WIlliams he is playing well too 25 receptions for 632 and 5 td...The Fsu defense is led by Senior DT Frank Jackson who has the most tackles on the team (39) the most tackels for loss(12) and the most sacks(7) there is no running around him in the middle of that dline.. look for him shut down the run and give the maryland backs fits all day.. Maryland comes into this game with nothing to lose.. their coach went to a new school mid season after some scandal regarding him some weed and some cheerleaders... no charges were filled but coach hickerson wasnt happy with the way the school handled the situation and decided to make a change.. how ever they are going to play hard in this game to try and keep thier name amongst the best in the acc.. its going to be a tough game for maryland but this could be ur upset special of the week.. I think too much has gone on in maryland and all though FSU shows flashes of being the great team they were last year they will flash long enough to get them thru a veyr tough Game.. Florida State Over Maryland

lol, good write up...i knew there was something shaddy about coach hickerson and coed's...my fear is maryland comes into the game with nothing to lose, and play's free and easy...my team has been out of sync the last 2 weeks...note, fr wr k williams has not been cleared to play after breaking a finger 2 weeks ago...without him, t raines has lost a huge weapon...and i was pretty upset after last week game vs duke, but will say i was very proud of sr hb k brewster who carried the rock 37 times for over 200 yards...

Today the oregon ducks faced off agasint the arizona state sun devils and this game was a complete shoot out... but before we get into the stats can everyone please stand up and give a round of applause for the all time leading td throwing qb in cfb history Atari West.. He broke what seemed unbreakable in Kale Cooper's record for passing tds in a career that was set at 163...n on this pass he surpassed one of the all time great qb's
.
.."What a special Day for him.. he came here as a 3 star recruit and in that first year he struggled threw alot of td's but he also threw alot of pics but his abilty to throw passes on the run and the way he worked it remind me so much of kale that in the off season i gave kale a call n sent him out there to work with him in the off season and when he came back .. i knew we had created a monster.. the field was so open he saw everything.. he audible at the line changed blocking assignments and he was doing all of this as a tru sophmore and ever since then it was only a matter of time before he stood as one of the greatest qb's ever.. i have been fortunate in my career to coach 2 of the greatest qb's of all time.. congrats to atari..and kale will be alright he still has the record for passing td's in one season.." Coach Santana.. Kale Cooper was also in attendance today n watched as his record fell.." When i did it it wasnt me alone i mean i had one of the greatest wr to play the game wit me but this kid i mean he did it with diffrent wr's every year.. when he came to me in that first offseason and he learned to read the defenses and kno where to place the ball.. i mean the growth was outstanding.. he stands in the pocket and makes better throws than i ever did.. i hate to see the mark fall but im happy to see it fall to a guy like him.. congrats on the record a train.." Kale Cooper qb of The JacksonVille Jaguars..."Aww man what a special moment for me.. i mean i wasnt chasing the record honestly thier qb was trying to out play me n i just didnt want to lose so i told coach they are wide open let me throw it.. i kno d fish didnt like it but hey he made the most of his carries.. when i saw cox get into the endzone and i broke the record it felt like the whole world stopped.. man what a great day.. i cant belive it i mean i owe it to kale he tought me everything i know.. all thats left is a national championship then i can say im better than one of the all time greats" Atari west on his record...this game was def a shoot out final score 73-34 Atari West goes 23-26 484 yards and 5 td.. he was unconsious in this one..Jefferson 12 rec 271 yds 2 tds.. d fisher had 303 yards running an reciving and 4 td's.. but Arizona State was loose too qb Blake Washington was on fire 27-51 433 1 td.. C.Ball 14 rec 253 1 td.. this was a game of offense.. Up next for the ducks is Arizona

you nervous...any tricks up your sleeve...you should have your sister bug him, throw stuff, nag to help in the kitchen while he's playing...
I don't like this Chris LOL. I need all the focus I can have, luckily she has a ton of homework, with finals next week. So I will be left alone.
Also, I don't like all this pressure that's on me, HAHA. Everyone thinking I will win, when I haven't beat Iowa in 5 years or whatever LOL. I appreciate the support, but if I lose, Im gonna feel like I let you guys down, not just me
